01 2.5 CRD Rear wiper - actd
I've just bought a voyager 2001 model (the newer model for that year) 2.5CRD LE and the rear wiper isn't working. The switch lights up in both positions - anyone got any ideas where's the best place to start to track this down? The rear demister also seems a bit weak, though that may be because it still had cold water on the outside.

Also, can anyone explain to me exaclty what the hot air boost does - it seems to be working (it makes a noise and there was a puff of diesel exhaust from under the car when I switched the engine off when still cold).

Has anyone ever found a way to convert the MPG display to UK gallons instead of US gallons?

Many thanks

Hi
Issue 1
The rear wiper to fail is common, just check for 2 lives and earth but more then likely motor is shot. I can tell you what wires to check if needed but a simply test light on all the wires and if you have 2 lives it will more then likely be the motor.
Issue 2
The ancillary heater are only on the diesel and it to help get heat out of the heater as diesel take a long time to warm up. It will only kick in if it is low temp outside and / or you have set it high inside. e.g If you don?t set it above 24 inside and it not below 5 outside it doesn?t come on.
Issue 3
The MPG should be set to UK anyway, what are you getting in km if you set it to metric in the over head display?

Ah Merlin,

seems you are on this forum as well. Excellent :-)

I have a sticker saying that the MPG is in US gallons, but good point about the metric - I'll switch across and do a calculation to see what it equates to in Imperial MPG.

With regards to the ancillary heater, mine is a diesel model, and I'd been playing with the heater, so presumably it kicked in. Never come across one before, but I like the idea.

Got your reply on the motor on the other forum thanks.
